Reply #180: I still think if we look at this strategically [View All]

We will find that Israel - via its disproportinate response is trying to goad Syria and/or Iran to jump into the fray - and they are using the Lebanese civilians as bait.

It is a long term strategy meant to remake the middle east with Israel as top honcho. These are neocons we are dealin with and you only have to look up PNAC to understand their agenda.

If Syria and Iran sneeze at this point - Israel will hollar, and the US will jump into the mess. That is the goal. Iran's nuclear installation will be bombed - guarenteed.

But I often wonder if Iran's proposed oil Bourse which is scheduled to go active in September(?) has anything to do with the obvious ramping up of emnity. Iran's oil would be traded in Euro's instead of US greenbacks - and this is an obvious depressing factor to the value of the US dollar - which is not at all helpful for the US or Israel.
I wonder if that is at the root of it all - and all this talk of terrorism, nuclear fears, etc is just a whitewash to what is really driving this war.
I recall Saddam tried the same thing.....and was invaded pretty much immediately.
